Machado urges U.S. leaders to push for democratic Venezuela

Season 2026 Episode 16 | 4m 10s

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado told an audience in Washington that she's confident democracy will return to her nation. But almost two weeks after the seizure of former President Maduro, Machado revealed little of her own plans. As Nick Schifrin reports, that hasn't stopped the Trump White House from engaging with the rest of the Maduro regime they left in place.
